watchdog driver ?

[Tabulous]

Did this ever get added to the code base ?
i remember awhile back it was suppose to be added in 3.0 ?

It seems not. I use this one and it works well.

It is in 16.1.

Hey,

The Drivers repo (which I maintain) is being deprecated and everything is being moved to the Contrib repo. (https://github.com/ChibiOS/ChibiOS-Contrib)

For the WDG driver, as Giovanni said it's in 16.1, I use it and it works perfectly.
It won't be moved to the contrib repo as it's officially supported now.

What about those of us who are still on 3.x? Will it be back-ported or does this mean we are forced to move to 16.1?

You can still use the repo, but it won't get updated.

Giovanni can probably backport the driver to 3.x

I suggest to update, alternatively you can take just the driver from 16.1, the community driver is fine too.

Is there a guide? I notice from other posts you mention it's a lot easier than 2.x->3.x but when I did a quick branch switch everything went to hell with loads of errors so I suspect it's a case of new makefiles etc. as well which is a real pain.......

I find a quick file compare of my project against the closest demo project highlights the differences quite quickly - generally chconf.h, mcuconf.h, halconf.h and makefile are the key files. Winmerge works well on Windoze.

Good tip thanks, will give it a try.
